THE REAL ESTATE MARKET.
Thore the usual activity in the real estate mar
ket last week. and few of the deals involved large
amounts. 1t also noticeable that quite an in.
crease in values appeared. Lots in Woodruff Place
advanced $50 during the week, and there was a sim
liar advance all over the city Buyers plent
full than sellers, and it is evident that much better
prices will be realized property hereafter sold than
that disposed of the last three months. People
who hava property for sale realize this and are hold
ing back with the hope of still larger advance The
trading mostly continues to be in vacant lots about
in all classes of business to get as
far from the heart of the city as possible
Preferences seem to IN rection, and the
growth will be general The number of transfers for
the week seventysix, representing $174 64e 49,

A SsnsatIonal STORY.

| PITrsBU-RG, July l6.-A sensational dis
patch to the Chronicle Telegraph from
Greensburg, Pa, says: Information reach
ell here this morning through an officer oI
the law that q murlerous plot had been
laid by the striking Hungarians at and
/ near the LeiSenring works to surprise the
| pinkertOn detectives 1t that place anu
drive OIL all the new men working there,
All the details of the attack had been az
ranged by Hungarian who formerly held
high pOsition as an officer in the Hun
parian army, aud who has been for the
past few months drilling the striking
Huns in the Hungarian manual OF arms.
The strikers, consisting mostly OF Hun
garians, a thousand strong, were to have
proceeded to the Leisenring Works at the
break of day, next Monday and draw of
all of the detectives and men working there
and kill and wound all who dared to resist
them. The aforesaid Hungarian becom'
ing frightened gave the whole thing away
10 one of the officers ut the coke works,
and bought a ticket at SeOttdale for New
York, and left there this morning for the
east. He informed an officer just rs he
mounted the train that his life would pay
the pehalty for his treachery to his coun-
trymen il he remained, NJ he left.
Whether the Huns will carry out their
plans without their chief or await more
favorable opportunity could not at this
writing be found out, but they are doubt
less in q very excited and nervous mood
and the slightest prOyOcation may lead
them to do almost any unlawful act.
The report WAS not credited by the op
orators here. They report everything
quiet in the region and the strike nearing
an end

Trains Collide on a Bridge-Loss of Life

LINCOLN, NEB., July 16.-As the regu'
lar train from the East was leaving Have.
lock at about o'clock yesterday morning,
it came in collision with an extra stock
train bound for Omaha
The trains came together on a small
bridge, engine 40 telescoping the special
engine, but not throwing it from the track.
Thirteen cars on the regular train, con-
tanning freight of all kinds, together with
some emigrants and their goods, were piled
up OH the track and taking fire were quick
ly destroyed.
DR.. Max Randall and his little son Char
ley were passengers on the west bound
train and were seriously hurt. They were
en- route to Nevada from Roseville, Ohio.
1t is regarded rs certain that some unknown
persons persisted i'll the wreck and the
flames Hardly had DIR. Randall and his
son been released from the wreck when the
flames reached two oil tank cars which
were loaded with oil, and they both eX-
plOded with terrific force, scattering the
burning fluid over large area and setting
fire to the parched weeds beside the track.
Tho wrecked cars We're soon in flames,
The trains were to have passed at Have
lock. and Engineer Bowser, of the regular,
bound west, was notified of that fact by
flag at Havelock. 1t is said that he, his
fireman and head brakeman, were asleep
when the flag was passed and the train
came on without Stacking up. Conductor
Morton, of the regular train, and the rear
brakeman say that they saw the flag and
made every possible endeavor to stop the
train. The loss to the railway company is
estimated at between $50, 600 and $50, 600,
exclusive of any claim for personal dam

provements.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-The Chief En-
gineer has received the annual report OF
Captain E. II. Puffneer, U. S. Engineers,
upon the improvement of the Mississippi
from Des Moines rapids TO the mouth OF
the Illinois river. After describing the
dredging operations of the year and their
effect, Captain Pulitzer says:
The general result of the work on this
part of the river during the past nine years
is not encouraging. The river is 50 large
that the money appropriated was not
enough to build works of contraction in
sufficient number TO control the river 10
such a degree as to enable an engineer to
predict what the result would be in depth
of channel. At many places good has been
done chiefly by limiting the number OF
channels, or by compelling the river at
low water TO run through such narrow
bed that the navigable channel cannot SHIFT
to any great extent. At other places trou-
blesome bars have been removed and
brought to q semi-permanent position,
where they are out of the way.
Erosion has been largely controlled and
the movement of islands is less; and the
banks are caving to less degree than
formerly. But it cannot be stated that
the general depth of the navigable channel
has been increased. There is no reason to
think that Congress will give u greater
amount of money in the future than 1t
has in the past. That sum, which has
been on an average less than 100000 q
year, is not enough to carry on with sue
cess II plan of permanent improvement.
1t would be better to altar the plan OF
work than TO pretend to continue in the
present course"
Captain Puffner expressed the opinion
that under the circumstances stated future
efforts should be limited TO atfording tenn
pOrary relief. He proposes that hydraulic
dredges be constructed with which gooC
navigable channel may be maintained
While convinced that the permanent work
of improvement ought to be carried on t.
completion, he is unwilling TO submit esti
mates to which he feels certain no atten
ton will be given. Instead, he estimates
for only 500, 900 for the maintenance OF thu
present dredging machines to secure 4 low
water channel for the last year.

CLARKsBURG, July l6.-There is a
pretty howdydo in the municipal affairs Of
our city government. At meeting OF the
City Council last night, G. l.. Kidd was
removed from the police force. Kidd had
been appointed by Mayor W. F. Richards
and has been kept in Office it is alleged by
an illegal vote of the Mayor upon the
question of the removal of said Kidd; the
Mayor reinstated Kidd to-day in defiance
of the order of the Council. The Mayor
and Kidd have had a difficulty with some
employees of the B. & o. railroad compan y
and the following instruction were recently
given to the policemen by the Mayor, said
order being printed in the Telegram of July
3: "Our orders to the police and three or
four connected with the show were to club
as long as life was in them. Had Feeny
struck Maphis his hand would scarcely
have made the motion until he would have
been Drained with guy rope stick which
one of the men had about his clothes" 1t
seems that Feeny, the railroad employee,
had fight with one OF the the Clarksburg
policemen in Grafton on Decoration
Day, and by order Of Agent Will
son the obnoxioux policeman was recently
elected from the platform of the company.
The Mayor took the opportunity to issue
the above order. Feeny has filed charges
against the Mayor, which will probably
involve his impeachment. The impeach-
ment trial is set for next Friday night and
the almost unanimous sentiment Of the
community is that the Mayor must go.
One or two members OF the Council, how,
ever, are warm friends ofthe editor-Mayor,
and have stood by him.
The Vance shooting matter has quoted
down. Public sympathy is largely il
favor of Vance. This sentiment is non
partisan. Republicans and Democrats il
